Agreed. I replaced my battery today, we'll see how it goes. The battery I replaced it with has 50% more CCA than the OEM battery. I tested the voltage across the terminals while the car was running and it is at 14+V which seems to be accurate.
I did not look for a parasitic current though... too much trouble, plus I did not want to pull 50A fuses.
Let me say though replacing this battery was much more painful compared to previous vehicles I have owned
